Viewing of the Painting of Hilo Bay by Joseph Nawahi


Rec'd via email, this is the painting that was featured on Antiques Roadshow:

Viewing of the Painting of Hilo Bay by Joseph Nawahi 1842 - 1896

Mahalo to Bruce & Jackie Mahi Erickson '58, who so generously donated this painting to Ke Ali'i Pauahi Foundation so that this rare treasure can be enjoyed by Ka Oiwi Hawaii - our Native Hawaiian People, and all who love Hawaii. 

This important painting not only captures this unique period in Hawaiian history, it is significant because of the Renaissance man who created it, Joseph Hooluhi Nawahiokalaniopuu. 

A teacher, journalist, attorney, legislator and cabinet member to Queen Liliuokalani, Nawahi was a self-taught painter and only five of his paintings are known to exist. The painting will have a permanent home at Ka'iwakiloumoku, the Hawaii Cultural Center at Kapalama in 2009. 

Available for viewing in the Hawaii/Pacific Collection at the Frank E. Midkiff Learning Center, Kamehameha Schools Kapalama

January 17 - 26, 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.
Please check with the front gate for parking. 

Update: Advertiser story today on the painting and the fascinating figure of Joseph Nawahi.
